Excerpt from the book "Infidel" written by ex- muslim from Somalia Ayaan Hirsi Ali:
page 141:

One morning in March, I received a letter, in English, from a woman
in Finland. She said she was in love with Mahmud Muhammad Artan,
and enclosed a picture of herself with him. He was standing, tall and
handsome, in a white shirt, with his arm around a white-blonde woman
against a backdrop of blue sea. The Finnish girl wrote that Mahmud had
a framed photograph of the two of us, but he had told her that I was his
cousin. Was I really just his cousin? the letter asked me. Because this
Finnish girl planned to marry Mahmud.

It was like a gift. I had almost forgotten about Mahmud, and now this
Finnish woman was proposing to take him off my hands. I wrote a
polite reply. Of course I was Mahmud's cousin, I wrote, and of course I
couldn't possibly be his wife: that would be incest. If he was implying
that we might in any way be married, this was just teasing. Then I folded
up her letter and the photograph, feeling like such an adult for solving my
personal problems so neatly.

Of course Ayaan was his wife but couldnt miss such a splendid opportunity to get rid of her husband (:
